Welcome to The Jungle

Skittles are now banned
In many faraway lands.
They’re sweet yet toxic.

Mountain Dew is too,
Both Japan and the EU –
Bromine’s in the brew.

Frosted Flakes – not grrrreat –
A carcinogenic treat
In a bowl to eat.

What about sport drinks?
Nobody drinks Gatorade
At all in Norway.

Some other foods, too,
Are safe for me, but not you,
And I wonder why.

By way of confession, and I guess by way of revealing my status as an American, I wrote this while eating Skittles.
